Summary
"This is the first general history of San Antonio, Texas, the seventh largest city in the nation. Its past is complex and ranges across 300 years, from the community's origins as a tiny Spanish frontier town to its contemporary status… as a vital American mega-city. Site of some of the most violent struggles between warring empires and people--historians believe San Antonio may be the most fought-over city in U.S. history--it is perhaps most celebrated for the iconic 1836 Battle of the Alamo. The city is also home to four beautifully restored Spanish missions, which in 2015 UNESCO designated a World Heritage Site and have become integral to San Antonio's robust tourist economy along with the fabled River Walk." --from the Publisher.
